Twitter was set ablaze late Tuesday evening after the social media platform restricted and locked thousands of conservative, pro-Trump accounts.
Twitter users also experienced a huge drop in followers and used the hashtag #TwitterLockOut to discuss the purge.
A woman named Gretchen Smith tweeted a picture of herself Wednesday morning and said she is indeed a real person who founded ‘Code of Vets’ yet she was locked out and lost 3300 followers.
